About
Groundwork Financial Partners provides investment management and related advisory services to a mix of clients that include employer-sponsored retirement plans, individuals, and other entities seeking financial planning and tax support. Services described in its brochure include discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, ongoing and project‑based financial planning, retirement plan consulting and management, tax planning and preparation, bookkeeping, and educational seminars.
The firm uses a combination of fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis and constructs portfolios with an emphasis on asset allocation, using both passive and active strategies and generally favoring long‑term holdings while permitting shorter‑term trades when appropriate. Engagements are tailored to client needs; clients may grant limited discretionary authority, impose written investment restrictions, and choose from ongoing, project‑based, hourly, or fixed‑fee arrangements in addition to asset‑based billing.
Groundwork is noteworthy among investment‑manager peers for its close relationship with a related accounting and tax practice (including bookkeeping and tax preparation services) and for ownership interests in real estate holdings, with the firm’s principal allocating a significant portion of professional time to those non‑investment activities. The firm also emphasizes retirement plan consulting — including acting in fiduciary/ERISA capacities for plan sponsors — and offers public or sponsor‑focused educational seminars, features that are less common among firms in this category.

Forms ADV
Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
